dpd project [VERSION 2!] [Full List of Discs] [FAQ] [Find A Song or Band] [Message Board]      

Welcome to DPD!


The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino.

Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme.

We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives.

from: Love is a Battlefield of Broken Hearts

Picked By: diamond
For: DPD: 037 - My Life in Music (Diamond)

This is perfect summertime music, good old, pop-flavored punk in a very non-political vein. Even though they wallowed in relative obscurity, these guys paved the way for the bands that are popular today, bands like Green Day and Blink 182, with those shining examples, this probably doesn't sound like such a good thing afterall, but it is. I'm glad music like that is top 40, it means the mainstream world has evolved a little since the 80's, in regards to music. I may not like those two previously mentioned bands, but if I was 12 years old today, I'd probably think they were the cat's meow. Maybe I'm just a bitter old fuck when it comes to the lack of respect these kids have for the folks who paved that road they're walking on. Anyway, this was perfect music for pre, during and post-skate sessions during those excellent skater years.
